I Was Wrong About The Homesteaders Of America Conference (My HOA 2021 Recap)

  • Опубліковано 11 жов 2021
  • After a few years of deciding NOT to attend the Homesteaders Of America Conference, I decided to make the 10 hour drive south to attend. In the end, it was way more fun than I ever imagined!

    I watch a lot of these type channels and it makes me so happy to see families returning to what was normal for me growing up. I am sure that the value is not missed as so many people are now involved. Here where I am towards Albany NY, I have watched farm after farm disappear. Hopefully this movement will take hold here and more farms will return! Thank you all homesteaders for teaching our future generation!

    Talk to each other and if you know of a family that does not have the meads to buy acres but with strong backs, good work ethics and family values I would love to invest and live out my days on a farm raising home grown fruit, veggies and the rest.
    I would want a small home and a larger home for possible said family.

Such good-hearted folks and what they are doing is AWESOME! To see children running around barefoot on the farms is heart warming and the way it should be. Also to see them doing the chores on the farm and the older ones taking responsibility on their own ~ what a great way to grow up! SO GOOD!!!!

    I love viewing homesteader videos and even though I'm a small city dweller, I have increased my skills into growing more in my small backyard, understanding soil health, and starting many of my vegetables and flowers from seed. Plans for the future are a cold frame and a small greenhouse. This question is just out of curiousity, I noticed a lot of homesteaders are refer to God or appear faith based in their decision to become more sustainable or to homestead and am wondering if, in your opinion, a majority of homesteaders are religious, Christian, God based, etc. This is not a criticism just a curiosity.

    I guess my experience was a little different. I went for the first time this year. I don't know what I expected, but the conference was more like a farmer's market on steroids. It took 2 hours to get into the parking lot in the morning and then there was a huge wait for both the porta potties and for food. The lectures were great, but nothing you can't see on UA-cam. I think I am done with HOA conferences.

    Enjoyed watching your take on HOA we sure had a great time there too. Wish we ran into each other would have been great. You all have a blessed day, Lisa at #moneypithomestead
